I have been backing up the Boinc subdirectories on my machines, more or less conscientiously, and then restarting from the backup when a fatal error occurs. It's a slow dance but I am making progress.

I notice that a fatal error is usually flagged on my Boinc CPDN stats as "Server State Over" and "Client error" .

Does this mean that the work unit will be rejected at the server when it is eventually completed ?

The only WU I restored from backup changed to Over/Client error/Computing to Over/Success/Done a short while after it finished.

Thanks TL. One of my machines is 3 months in to a 6 month run but I have had to fall back to a backup a number of times. I did not want to finally get to the magic day onlt to discover that "done" means "done".
